Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Cowboys by : Tom Groneberg
Download or read book The Secret Life of Cowboys written by Tom Groneberg. This book was released on 2007-11-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the stories I tell myself when I am trying to fall asleep is that I have tried. I've tagged along after myself in the pages of my own modern Western, and every few years is another chapter to the story. The myth of the cowboy. I chased a dream and it kicked me in the teeth. Yet I find myself falling for it again and again." Across the rugged and beautiful landscape of the contemporary American West, Tom Groneberg paints an unsparing portrait of his flawed, funny, and sometimes triumphant efforts to become a cowboy. It is a classic tale: a young man, facing a future he doesn't want to claim, has an inspiration -- Go West. Leaving behind his friends and family, Groneberg follows his heart and heads to a resort town in the Colorado Rockies, where he earns his spurs as a wrangler leading tourists on horseback. Like an old saddle blanket, the tale unfolds, revealing the clean threads of a new story. Groneberg moves to Montana, working for wages at a number of ranches before getting a chance to become the owner of a sprawling ranch, fifteen square miles of grass and sky. In lean but passionate prose, Groneberg demystifies the image of cowboy as celluloid hero and introduces us to the tough and kindhearted men who teach him how to be a real cowboy, the woman who teaches him how to love, and their son, who teaches him how to be a man. The Secret Life of Cowboys is both a coming-of-age story as stunning as the land itself and a revealing look at America's last frontier.

Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Horses by : Glen Enloe
Download or read book The Secret Life of Horses written by Glen Enloe. This book was released on 2015-05-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret Life of Horses is a collection of serious, humorous, profane, introspective and sometimes political poems about both the contemporary and old west as well as film and B western cowboys. It lovingly and sometimes wistfully recounts real and fictional tales about a way of American life that is vanishing. Today's cowboys (when you can find them), are the ranchers, farmers, rodeo performers and dreamers that now carry on a proud tradition that hopefully will never die. Glen Enloe spent his early years between small farms and the suburbs. Today he's a retired advertising writer that retains a deep respect and love of rural and western heritage. He's authored four books of cowboy poetry, two of free verse and a non-fiction book. He's also been published in American Cowboy, the Kansas City Star and many literary journals. Award nominations include the Academy of Western Artists and the Pushcart Prize.
